"The Black Cats have agreed a fee with Wigan but, with the clock ticking and plenty of paperwork still to be completed, fans may be worrying that a deal looks unlikely.
But, as per EFL rules, Sunderland can be given until 7pm to complete the deal - providing that the club have submitted a 'Deal Sheet'".

if the profit was £2,800,000, then 20% would yield £560,000, alternatively, the sell-on could have been 25%, 30%, or as some clubs do these days slap 40% on, so the return could be possibly £700,000, £840,000 or possibly £1,120,000.

The latter would be very juicy indeed, but I think it's unlikely.

I admit though if that 3 was an 8 and the sell-on was 40%, then £3,120,000 would be extremely good; however I don't think the 3 is a misprint .

Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.

BrenkConfirmed. Missed the deadline, so on loan till January when the deal becomes permanent.

Which shows how hyped up this transfer window is. Who's to say we won't sign a player or two on similar terms over the coming weeks? Far more realistic scenario than the meltdowns some seem to be having because we didn't spend the Norburn money within six hours.

Couldn't agree more with that!

Are people having a meltdown because we have not spent money in six hours? My impression is that the concern is wider and more to do with a senses that we have lost both our best striker and arguably our best midfielders without really having a replacement.Throw in the loss of Hughes and the arrival of Banks is only a partial compensation.We have a smaller squad and a greater challenge,albeit that at least the current squad does not number long term injuries and the only real misfit is Waring.Meltdown is hyperbole most views represent no more than a niggling concern.It is time not opinion that will show whether those concerns are groundless

And the meltown is happening based on fear not on a number of actual performances in league 2. Norburn wasn't in the team at Stevenage. Neither was Cook but two goals were scored away from home. I am going to wait till there are at least 10 games gone before judging the team we now have. And let's face it, there will be people in on loan now that that deadline has passed.
